DxO Optics Pro v9.0 MacOSX [2013,ENG]

Enhance your photos with DxO Optics Pro, the software of reference for all demanding photographers. Based on an exclusive approach of prior equipment calibration, DxO Optics Pro includes powerful tools for processing RAW and JPEG images.

PRIME

Push the limits of shooting at very high sensitivity

A DxO Labs exclusive, PRIME technology has been designed to push the limits of image quality even further. Its denoising algorithms analyze the structure of RAW images in depth: more than a thousand neighboring pixels are surveyed for each pixel. This extensive exploration identifies similar data to use to reconstruct image information.

Several minutes are sometimes needed to run PRIME, but as this extraordinary denoising takes place in the background without any intervention on your part, you can work on other images while you wait for your perfectly denoised photo. Details and color saturation are preserved, especially in shadows, and textures are restored resulting in an outstanding image that is more pleasing to the eye.

Want your photos processed immediately? DxO Optics Pros classic High Quality denoising algorithm has also been upgraded and provides you with very detailed images even at the highest sensitivities, in just a few seconds.

DxO Smart Lighting

Even better recovery of highlights

DxO Smart Lighting has been improved once again and now offers even more efficient highlight recovery. The processing of shadows and highlights is truly breathtaking.

This improvement is visible both when the default preset is applied and when you are using advanced recovery tools.

With the Exposure compensation tool, the details you thought were lost are revealed and colorimetric errors are minimized even if the information was missing in the original RAW data

Stunning colors

Preserve skin tones and natural colors

DxO Optics Pro 9 doesnt just simulate your cameras color rendering, but also provides its own interpretation of the images, regardless of the camera used.

Bring out the details in both light and dark areas thanks to a new rendering designed for portraits: obtain more precise skin tones and preserve more saturated natural colors.

Visual presets

Know what youre choosing

Discover DxO Optics Pros new catalog of visual presets. DxO has painstakingly developed 30 new renderings that have been designed to respond to several different use cases: Portrait, Landscape, Black White, and Single-shot HDR.

A new floating palette gives you faster access to available presets: preview the results as thumbnails and then apply the one you want to your image in just one click.

New workspace

Even more comfortable and productive

Gain comfort and productivity with the new simplified and unique workspace. The use of vertical space has been optimized to give even more space to the image youre working on. All actions can be performed in the principal window: opening images, applying corrections, and exporting the results.

The palettes have been reorganized even more logically, with easy access to the most important corrections so you can get started immediately. DxO Optics Pros other advanced tools are near at hand to provide the detailed settings required by the most demanding photographers.

The Mac OS X interface has been entirely reworked and is based on Apples latest design advances.

New export system

Save time with an intuitive and flexible workflow

Thanks to DxO Optics Pros new export feature, you can go directly from customizing your image to publishing it or to further processing it in another application.
